While his concern is very real, if Firefox removes trust for that CA it loses market share in China. And if that happens, then Firefox themselves have negated their own security benefits. I think it's prudent to keep an eye on CNNIC for this very issue, but until suspect behavior is detected, I think that any rash moves on the part of Mozilla could be worse than what's currently seen.
I couldn't help but notice the conspicuous instructions to "Uncheck TLS/SSL security" in each of the clients. I really hope that doesn't come back to bite anyone in the ass, there's enough spam on other parts of Facebook already.
Most sane datacenters will be extremely proactive about dealing with abuse complaints about spam, to say nothing about botnets, since they're the ones providing the IPs to the customers. Capitalism typically makes it hard on the baddies here: datacenters do NOT want to lose saleable IPs to long-lasting blocks.
It's not like it would have been hard for them to acknowledge that it's just "popular myth" or something, and keep all the rest of their little attention-drawing page as it is. People like idle little bits of trivia, even if they know there's no scientific basis. "A+ people are pretty! Like me!" et cetera.
While the impact of this is no big deal, it's still kind of scary that the people running a decently-sized ccTLD would make such a novice mistake on their zonefile.
Careful viewers will notice that there is no engine installed in the Bel Air. I don't think the test is particularly enlightening, based on this fact. Sure, the engine block would still end up in the cabin, but its mass would have helped slow the crumpling of the hood.
If anyone's interested, there's an old Flash game with a similar mechanic here. Clever little diversion, and time can be both a fun and non-gimmicky mechanic.
We seriously need to find a middle ground for this issue. And by middle-ground, of course, I mean improving the keyboard and leaving controllers in the dust! Touch sensitivity is such a great feature that gaming keyboards should include it.
As awesome as Vim is, whenever I'm on a Windows platform I find its GUI abhorent, but at the same time I can't see myself using it on the commandline. So I use WinVi instead. While it has FAR less features, if I need to bang out some gorgeous regex replace in a native editor, WinVi got my back.
For all the end-to-end encryption in the world, Pidgin is not secure. Since you can't interface it with LDAP or Active Directory policies, users will just end up using the "Save My Password" option when logging in, which writes the password to disk in plain text.
I have a feeling that about half of these Texans are well aware that he calls himself a Protestant. It's that they don't believe him. It's not as if Nation of Islam and other Muslim organizations don't have footholds among African-American communities. Not to say that I think he's a Muslim, mind; I just see why they're suspicious.
Linux is GPL, and ZFS is CDDL. As such, you can't merge ZFS into the Linux kernel. Sun is apparently considering dual-licensing ZFS, but until that happens, we'll have to use half-assed solutions like running ZFS in userspace.
In a way, they're worse, by the sounds of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once you put an application on an iPhone, even if Apple removes it from their store you'll still have the application.
Yeah, I find it hilarious that in one story Slashdotters can rant and rave about how terrible Diebold is, and then just gloss over that fact in another which just so happens to also be about Linux.

Here's another one for you, a groaner at that.
What's the difference between a cat and a comma?
A cat has claws at the end of its paws. A comma has a clause at the end of its pause.

I use Steganos LockNote (GPL, http://www.steganos.com/us/products/for-free/locknote/overview/), it's essentially a self-contained AES encrypting Notepad.
And it's extremely stand-alone/portable, so you can just stick it on a USB stick.
I just use my American-hosted server as an SSH proxy to watch Hulu.

Petabit backbones still won't be enough to keep 4chan online through all those DDoSes they suffer.

All in all, an underwhelming "experiment".

Mod parent up, toilet failure was the dilemma in the excellent sitcom The Big Bang Theory.

Why can't they just have a warning before the images, like the "spoilers ahead" tags?
I imagine the savings have more to do with switching from Sun hardware to HP hardware than switching to Linux.

Advertising is hardly an ulterior motive, at least when it comes to television networks.

Who in the world said it mattered? Hating people for perceived hatred is a losing game. This is merely a simple poll, not a scathing editorial.

Git is an excellent piece of software, but Windows performance is not so great. Git is too UNIX centric to be fast on Windows in the near future.
Other distributed SCMs often are interpreted and just as slow as git (on any platform), so this might not be a concern for me.

Just make sure you don't write down the cipher key; you might be required to yield the note in court.
